Elora Distilling Company

Some celebrations call for velvet, marble and a perfectly made cocktail. At Elora Distilling Company, a gathering can feel like stepping into a grand hotel lobby bar from another era.

This grain-to-glass craft distillery sits on Metcalfe Street in the heart of downtown Elora, where award-winning spirits are made with local grains and botanicals.

Its private lounges are designed with elegance, service and history in mind, inspired by the world's iconic cocktail lounges and hotel bars, and evoking the roaring twenties and Hollywood's golden age.

The Royal Room Cocktail Lounge, with its velvet, marble and chandeliers, is an intimate space with a capacity of 40. It is open to the public and available for private events and buyouts.

The distillery hosts private events including weddings, engagement parties and rehearsal dinners, each designed to be luxurious and bespoke. Options include a seasonal events menu, cocktails featuring the distillery's own spirits, guided distillery tours and tastings, hands-on cocktail classes and chef-to-table multi-course dining with curated cocktail pairings.

Personal touches can include custom signage, personalized bottle labels and guest gifts such as merchandise or personalized spirits.

Friends might gather for a cocktail class, a tasting and a long dinner, then take home a bottle labelled just for the occasion.

For couples who want an intimate, stylish celebration in downtown Elora with exceptional cocktails and thoughtful service, Elora Distilling Company offers an evening that lingers long after the final toast.
